of the oilier Powers have announced that
they will not evacuate I'ekln until price

adhere lo that proposltton, and the Chi

It Is undei.-iood to occupy, there Is
not much ground for hoping that any of

awhile, unless the United States act In -

Id Hung Chang says that he ran and will

At present It Isn't very clear where Ihe

There Is a great deal of speculation as
to Mr. Bryan’s chances of election. In
the current number of he Forum there 1*
un article by ex-Gov. B*one of Missouri on
"The Campaign of 1900 “
In speaking of the campaign of Mr.
Htone says:
A change of 22,071 votes properly dis
tributed, would have given Mr. Bryan the
state* of California. Delaware, Imilstia,
Kentucky. North Dakota. Oregon wl
West Virginia, which would have elected
him. A change of 2M91 vo*es
dbtrlbuted would have added Maryland to
the Bryan column, in addition to the
-tales named, and thus given him the
election by a majority of 23 in the Elec
toral College.
We quote the foregoing to show that nl
hough Mr. McKinley's plurality over Mr.
Bryan wa more thatf GUQ,fM> yet h compar
atively small number of vojes. properly
distributed, would have given the latt**.
the victory. In oher words, there were
state* In which the two candidates ran so
closely together that a ltitl* greater effort
on the part of the Democrat* would have
given them to Mr. Bry*ui and made him
President.
In the contest this year It !f admitted
that there urea number of states that will
be very close. All of h*m were carried
by Mr. McKinley four years ago. They
are Kentucky, Marylan* 1. West Virginia.
Delaware, Michigan and Indiana. Chair
man Hanna admits the first four are very
doubtful. If th** Democrats should carry
all of them, together with the states they
carried In 1896, Mr. Bryan would be the
